This edition of French heroine Joan of Arc's biography by Ronald
Gower is complete with original illustrations depicting the places
Joan visited and lived in. This book chronicles Joan's short life,
and how she came to play a crucial role in the Hundred Years' War.
Keenly recounting the history of 15th century France alongside the
narrative of Joan's life, Gower offers the reader an informative
and enlightening account of the conflicts and social turmoil
present in the era. We witness Joan's rise to prominence from
obscurity, and the ascription of divine inspiration to her
decisions. Initially disguised as a male soldier during the
conflict, her attraction as a symbolic savior to the French royal
court of the era propelled Joan to rapid recognition. As a powerful
figurehead inspiring to French soldiers, Joan enjoyed a uniquely
influential position which was cut short by a sudden ambush and
capture by English forces.
